Most students preparing for competitive exams do so in chapters, units, and sections. By the end of it all, they believe they are well prepared to take the competitive exam. But on the final exam day, often everything once learned is forgotten in the flash of a second. This happens because of a tendency to underestimate the toughness of the questions and the scope of the syllabus in a combined way.

After taking several mock tests, the student is in a position to work on his weaknesses and to chalk out a plan to overcome them.

Attempting mock tests, based on the pattern of the JEE Main exam should form an integral part of your preparation because it tells you about your level of preparation. Mock tests are important because of the practice they provide. Multiple attempts of Mock tests help students revise the entire syllabus in the simulated setting of the actual exam. This way they remember what they have learned and perform well in the actual exams.

It is said that with proper practice and conceptual understanding, problems in mock tests could be solved faster. Hence, if students are lagging in proper preparation, they should start their preps, understand concepts, learn the basics and then start applying those concepts while they are appearing for mock tests.

Here are some of the quotes from JEE Main Past year Toppers and experts regarding books for JEE Main preparation:

"I started past year papers before nearly one-half month before the examination. With those papers, I analyzed my speed and accuracy which helped me to overcome stress and to be confident at the examination.” – Rohit Kumar, 100 percentile scorer in JEE Main March Session

"I solved nearly 30 past papers of JEE Main 2019 and 2020 and identified the topics with higher weightage or the ones that needed more extensive preparation. It is best to take these up when you are well-versed with the material and have to get into the mindset of NTA examiners and think through their typical patterns. This usually helps with ambiguous questions in the paper.” - Siddhant Mukherjee, 100 percentile scorer in JEE Main February Session

The Eligibility Criteria is important for any examination because even if a candidate does not fulfill a single criterion of the eligibility criteria declared for the examination then the candidate is not allowed to appear for the examination or even after appearing for the examination and clearing the same the admission through the examination stands canceled or void.
